Hi We have to think about the sequence and layers of configuration to make it consistent this time. I list the requirements that come to my mind - the most important cfg option is the root where you are operating on. In former times this was a Target option, and I think it still is (????) - known repositories raw metadata path, binary cache path, system architecture, etc, needs to be easily configurable/overridable. A zypp.conf file (ini file) would be a nice way to do it. So we have to determine the workflow: - when to set the target root - when do we read values from the config file - do we append the root to every value or is every value absolute, etc Duncan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
